    Found the exact same problem on the Wordpress Forums. Like it says, your host might be running PHP4 but that plugin needs PHP5.
    Apparently, there is no try/catch support in PHP4. You learn something new every day! :eek:

    I was not part of that Wordpress thread. You have three options:
    1. Edit the plugin code to remove the try-catch parts.
    2. Get your host to use PHP5.
    3. Use another plugin.
